“The very definition of a page-turner! This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page.” —Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

A read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave.

Sloane Caraway is a liar.

Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting.

So, when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot.

With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart—the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

But maybe Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years.

The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth and a twisted prison of a world. And in Count My Lies, Sophie Stava spins an “utterly gripping and unputdownable” (Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about the secrets we keep, and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the images we spend so much time trying to maintain.

Careful what you lie for.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"What happens when a pathological liar ingratiates herself into a family of three? The author uses the technique of the unreliable narrator, and narrators Andrew Eiden, Devon Sorvari, Emily Tremaine handle it well. A limited number of characters are involved, but the narrators especially shine while portraying the family’s young daughter, Harper. She has clipped sentences, a whining tone at times, and sounds like the 5-year-old she is...the cast is well used and is important since perspective is critical to the plot. The listener will learn that lives—and lies, for that matter—are not always what they seem."

disappointing

What a let-down. Corny, unbelievable. This was a waste of a credit and my time.

Great read for beach

A little slow to start but well worth it. Turns quickly into a Page turner. Great book for beach.

I never saw this end coming!!

This book started out a bit slow, but got better pretty quickly. I couldn't wait to listen each day as the action picked up. I thought the voices were especially great!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting. Easy to read and fast paced. Not believable though. The end was just too far fetched. Too many people would have to be in on it.

Implausible

The end was ridiculous and really spoiled the carefully set up plot.
Other than that it was an okay beach read. I certainly would not recommend wasting a credit or money on this one
